| dc.description.abstract | Recognizing the performance factors in professional associations is crucial, in order to tackle the decline in professionalism and its detrimental effect on our economy and society. Hence, the objective of this study is to examine whether certain Intra-organizational factors affect performance of Ethiopian Professional Associations. As identified by literature the Intraorganizational factors are Management capacity, Program performance and Transparency. Consequently, explanatory research design was applied using the probability sampling approach, namely simple random sampling, n= 47. probability sampling is utilized on the population, since it determines the likelihood that a sample is representative of a population. Primary data were collected using self-administered structured questionnaire that was submitted to single respondents in the respective associations and the response rate was 70.2%. Secondary data about associations membership growth was collected from ACSO. The result of secondary data analysis showed that associations membership growth is irregular and doesn’t shows a definitive pattern. Then after a correlation analysis between the three independent variables and the dependent variable was conducted. The results of the correlation analysis indicated that there was strong correlation between Management capacity and PA’s Performance furthermore, the correlation between program performance, transparency with PA’s performance was substantial. The study went on to regress the 10 factors which are under the three independent variables namely, management capacity, program performance and transparency against the dependent variable (PA’s membership growth) to estimate the relationship between the Intra-organizational factors and performance of PA’s. The findings of the regression analysis revealed that 7 out of the 10 factors have shown to be significant in determining the performance of PA’s whereas; the remaining 3 factors have shown to be insignificant. The study recommends that more internal & external factors should be explored in the literature to uncover more factors that are important in the determining the performance of Ethiopian PA’s. | en_US |
